Mary Margaret “Marge” Kuykendall, age 89, of Moorefield, WV, peacefully passed away on Sunday evening, March 2, 2025, at her residence, surrounded by the warmth of her loving family. Born on July 21, 1935, in Beckley, WV, she was the cherished daughter of the late William Everette Cawley and Geneva Aaron Cawley. Marge was preceded in death by her devoted husband, Thomas Randolph Kuykendall, in June 2011, as well as her siblings: Richard, William Arthur “Fuzzy,” twin sisters Ailene and Elaine, and Maxine “Mackie.”
Marge’s life was a testament to her unwavering faith in God and her devoted service to her family and community. A cherished member of the Old Fields Baptist Church, she carried her faith through every chapter of life. As a “true soldier’s wife,” she embraced the challenges of her husband’s military career, moving across the country and connecting with new communities while always advocating for her beloved family. Together, they created countless cherished moments, often shared in the simple joy of fishing, a favorite pastime that brought them closer. Marge’s vibrant spirit and playful nature were evident in her love for card games, which she often played with her sisters during their travels.
Above all, Marge was defined by her unconditional love for her children and grandchildren, with whom she shared countless memories, laughter, and life lessons. Her legacy will live on through her sons, Randy Kuykendall and Kevin (Tina) Kuykendall, and her daughters, Susan (Tim) Harless and Jo Lee (Scott) Burns. She is also survived by her sister, Ruth Ann Price of Cleveland, OH; eight grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren.
Graveside Funeral services will be held on Thursday, March 6, 2025, at 1:00 PM, at Walnut Grove Gardens, located along Route 55 East of Moorefield. Pastor Ken Owens will officiate, guiding the family and friends through a reflective ceremony honoring Marge’s extraordinary life. Interment will follow, providing a final resting place for a remarkable woman who touched so many.
